Linux Support You Can Trust, and the makers of PeppermintOS

PCNetSpec is a Linux IT support business based in St Austell, Cornwall in the South West of England that primarily helps small to medium sized businesses with their IT infrastructure, software, support, IT consultancy, web presence, and email needs… but we are also just as happy to provide support for home users.

PCNetSpec are also the owners and developers of PeppermintOS, a leading Linux distribution well known for its tight ‘cloud’ integration that puts web applications and locally installed applications on an equal footing, Peppermints light-weight nature means it runs well on older hardware or ridiculously quickly on modern hardware, its innovative approach of cherry picking ‘best of breed’ desktop environment components, tools, and utilities then combining them into a cohesive whole with our own ‘in-house’ software, has shown it to be a consistent favourite amongst Linux users and highly ranked on Distrowatch.

Although PCNetSpec have, and still do provided services and support for Windows and Mac based systems including mixed OS networks, we are trying to focus our efforts on helping businesses switch to the more secure, robust, scalable, and most often “free” Linux environment.

We have always endeavoured to provide our clients with the best and most cost effective solutions to their requirements, including fast support and effective advice when problems arise.

In these days of tight budgets and rampant Windows viruses / malware we have found Linux to be an answer to most SMB needs, minimising down-time, having a lower total cost of ownership (TCO), yet having a familiar interface that generally doesn’t require any staff retraining.
